Collaborative Category Management
OPENCatman drives collaborative work: share your planograms instantly and coordinate remotely with colleagues, trade partners, and stores. The platform was built to make decision-making easier and speed up its implementation at the point of sale.
The built-in Chat connects every player in the category in real time, ensuring clear communication and agile decisions. Suppliers can activate the “Ambassador” option, a premium feature that lets them remotely support their clients in optimizing their planograms.
Speed up your response to the market by working collaboratively with your trade partners and stores.
Powerful analysis tools
You don’t need to be a Category Management expert to make good decisions about your projects. OPENCatman includes decision-making tools that help ensure your category’s productivity.
With OPENCatman you can visualize the space occupied by a brand, a segment, or a price level; set minimum stock levels based on turnover; and allocate space according to the segment’s or category’s objectives, all through a clear and transparent process.
Print, Share, or Export Your Projects
Print your planogram as a PDF with detailed in-store implementation instructions, or share it directly from the OPENCatman App to work in real time with stores.
If your organization already uses tools like Apollo, Spaceman, Pro Space, or Space Planning, OPENCatman lets you import or export your projects to easily integrate them into these platforms.
Communicate Your Decisions in Real Time with the Store Using the OPENCatman App
Share Your Planogram in Real Time with the Store
With the OPENCatman APP, you no longer need to print PDFs of your planograms. By sharing your project directly with the store, it accesses your planogram in real time and receives notifications on iOS or Android for every update: new products, layout changes, or other key events. Communication with the store becomes immediate and effective, ensuring fast implementation without delays. (see conditions)
Multi-Planogram Automation by Clusters
This unique feature, built around the needs of users who manage planograms by Cluster or by store, lets you manage assortment according to each Cluster and automatically apply changes by syncing the Master Planogram with each store’s planogram.
Combined with the App, it instantly communicates planogram updates according to the Cluster each recipient belongs to, ensuring fast and consistent execution across the entire network.
